To all whom e' may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY H. Sonnorsn, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cool;

and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Window- Sashes; and I do hereby declare that the following is aull,clear, and exact description of the saine, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specificationn Window sashesas heretoforeconstructed have usually been provided with removable cad memberswhereby1 the lighto glass carried by the sash can loe-removed orinserted in the sash and retained in position by the beads. The additionof removable heads to a Window sash has not only detiacted from `itsappearance, but in instances where nieta llic sashes havebeen used forpassenger the rerhovable beads.l which of necessitv nina-t also he ofmetal, have not been enti sin oessful in operati-on. '.lhe associacmn ofmetallic bead witha metallic sash for o purpose of retaining the lightot glass ai piace has involved a number of complicated parts, making theconstruction expensive and otherwise impractical.

This invention relates to a metallic .sash construction wherein the top,bottom and side'rails of the sash are detachable from one another, andare each provided with retaining beads permanently associated therewithfor the light of glass whereby the glass may bfi-.inserted or rniovcdfrom thc sash by removal of one of the rail or stile members.

It is an object oi' this invention to construct a metallic sashembracing.,r tubular dctachablc side, top und bottoni rails, each having moans associated therewith to receive i light of glass therein,whenvthc device is assembled.

Itis also an object of this invention to provide a metallic sashconstructed of tubular detachable members and with means scoured withinsaid meiiihcis for attaching; the inembcrs together in assembledrelation.

It is also an object of 'this invention to con.w 5o-struct a metallicsash of tubular top, bottoni und side rails, and with illcr blocks con-(aim-d within said rails and riveted thereto, said rails having integralheads formed thereon adapted to register with one another so when therails are assembled to intein Specification. of Letters Patent.

light of glass, and with incans adjustably coninectiingr said railmembers to one anothei` by said hloclis, insuring a proper associationol' the parts.

lt is furthermore an obiectof this invention to construct a window sashhaving integral heads thereon to receive a light oi' glass therebetween,and with one of said rails formed to receive a catheostripping elementtherein.

itis finally an object of this invention to construct a metallic windowsash easily asseinhied, and of substantial, construction, and consistingof few parts.

The invention l(in'a preferred form) is illustrated in. the drawings andhereinafter more fully described in the drawings:

Figure l is a fragmentary front :tace view of a portion of the trainingnfor a car window principles of my invern .1: is an in tcrior fragmentaryface view )er corner of a window sash showin ing elements in dottedlines.

il is similar view of a lower cornet` o window sash.

iis shown in the drawings:

il portion of a caris indicated by the reference numeral l, and mountedin thc 'erindow apertures therein are sushcs containing the lights ofglass 2. side rails of the sashes arc out at their ands at an angle oi45 degreesr and substantially rectangular in section. Each rail consistsa unitary sheet of metal lient to afford the inner and outer straifrhtwalls 3 speci ivcly, and an end wall 5, and that portion. of the metaljoining the inner and outer face walls 3 and fl, is shaped to ailord theinner and outer heads il and "l, respectively, therebetween. The1afroove s to receive the iight of glass k3, therein, and, if desired,any sfiita. Ile packing may he inserted between the giace and the l l toin the costilla; ci' the casi n seal,

@je ses' '.lhe iop, hottom and l and l, i'c- The construction of thebottom rait is slightly different in that in place of thc end wall 5,the metal is stamped to afford a dove tailed groove or recess, asindicated by the reference numeral 8, and clearly shown in Fig. 5. Thepurpose of said groove 8, is to permit a packing member 9, to beinsertedtherein and to Seal between the sash andthe sill of the Window framewhen the sash is in Closed position.

The means for attaching and maintaining the rails of the window sash inassembled relation comprise filler blocks l0, which are secured withinand near each end of the top and bottom ra'ils by means of rivets 11.Said filler blocks are further provided with an internally threadedaperture for a purpose hereinafter pointed out.

The side rails of the window sash are provided with filler blocks 12,riveted therein by suitable rivets 13, but in this case the -fillerblocks extend outwardly through the angled ends of the rail and arefurthermore provided with a projecting portion 14, which is adapted toengage within the tubular Atop andbottom rails respectively when thesame are assembled with the side rails. An aperture extends through eachof said liller blocks 12, and inserted rotatably through each thereof,is a long machine screw 15, the# threaded end of which engages in thethreaded aperture in the filler block 10, thus permitting said blocks tobe drawn up toward one another and insuring close association of therespective rails of the sash.

From the construction disclosed it is readily seen. that the rivets forthe filler blocks, as well as the adjusting screws, which arecountersunk into the respective rails flush with the surface of theouter walls tl'ieretet,

` form no projections whichv might interfere with the operation of thesash.

The4 operation is thought to be obvious from the description. However,when it is necessary to insert or remove a light oi' glass from the sashit is only necessary to remove one of the rail members and the glass Canthen be readily slipped along the grooves between the beads 6 and 7;

.I am' aware that various details of construction may be varied througha wide range without departingfrom the spirit or' this invention, and Itherefore do not pur pose limiting the patent granted otherwise thannecessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my inventi n:

1. 1n a window sash hollow side, top and bottom members mitered at theirends to form a tight joint, ller blocks rigidly se y, cured in the endsof each hollow member,

i,ese,eea

the blocks in two of the members having a threaded aperture and theblocks in the other two members having passages there-A through andScrews extending through the passages in said blocks and engaging in thescrew apertures to tightly drawfthe mem* bers together inassembledrelation. n

2. ln a window sash hollow top, side and bottom members formed toprovide oppositely disposed beads to retaina glass therebetween,independent filler blocks in the ends of all ot' the members and meansextending through the tiller blocks in part of 'the members and engagingthe filler blocks in the other members to tightly draw the sash memberstogether. l

3. ln a window sash structure of the class described, tubular siderails,l tubular top and bottom members, filler blocks mounted withinsaid top and bottom members, filler blocks mounted within the ends-ofsaid respective side rails projecting therefrom and adapted tointeritwith said top and bo'ttom members and means engaged through thefiller bloclrs of said side rails and .having threaded engagement withthe filler blocks in said top and bottom .members to draw the sametightly to one another in rigid assembled relation.

il. ln a window sash structure of the class described, side rails, andtop and bottom rails with the ends of each thereof oblique,

filler blocks mounted. on the interior at each beyond the ends thereof,and means rotatably engaged through the filler blocks of the side railsand' adapted for engagement with the liller bloclrs mounted within vsaidtop and bottom rails to draw said respective rail members tightly to oneanother in assembled relation. y

5. ln a. window sash construction of the clairs described hollow top andbottom rails,

at each end of each thereof, and means adjustably mounted in. saidfiller blocks of said side rails adapted to adjustably engage saidiillfer blocks of said top and bottom rails to draw said respectiverails tightly into assembled relation.

.ln testimony wher/eet1 l have hereunto subscribed my name in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
